Phantoms of the dead, warning apparitions and necromancy – there
are many stories of ghosts to be found in the retold literature of
ancient peoples: ‘Khonsemhab and the Ghost’ and ‘The
Adventure of Setne Khamwas with the Mummies’, both from Ancient
Egypt; ‘Philinnion and Machates’ from Ancient Rome; spirits
featured in Homer’s Odyssey, from Ancient Greece; tales of
Babylonian demons and the netherworld; and stories of fire
apparitions from Japan. The Vikings too had their fair share of
ghosts, such as crop up in the 13th-century Icelandic Laxdaela
Saga. These stories are all brought together in this new collection
for an intriguing insight into the spirit world of early cultures.

fantasy and science fiction, Flame Tree 451 offers a healthy diet
of werewolves and mechanical men, blood-lusty vampires, dastardly
villains, mad scientists, secret worlds, lost civilizations and
escapist fantasies. Discover a storehouse of tales gathered
specifically for the reader of the fantastic.
